No hard feelings Wally. I hated even having to go through this. But I was expecting something that I didnt get. Glad we got it worked out

no hard feelings ,i'll just be glad when you post or message me that you received the money order and the cash is in your pocket.i never lied to you or intended to scam or deceive you or anyone else.this was just a bad deal all around.after paying to transport and then the $1000.00 that puts me at my truck and $1500.00 for your cars and i wouldn't have done that if the truck had a 6 cylender in it.i guess i'll chalk it up to education costs money and i just bought some education.i will be very carefull in my ad listings in the future .i know we will both survive from this ordeal.just a shame it had to happen this way.good luck in your future endevors,take care of yourself,and have all the fun you can possibly have. Wally

Well I'm in on this one late as I see they hashed it out...but after reading through this thread Two things are certain.
1) The truck wasn't what was advertised and there definitely should be some compensation.
2) I would never in a million years deal with Tony Litell after reading the ridiculous compensation he wanted prior to reaching an agreement with the other guy.
If you are not capable of yanking a small block chevy out of a truck and reinstalling another sbc then you need to find a different hobbey....$1000 to remove and replace a sbc? Wow. That's a one afternoon job. I would miss work for that gig any day.
I think $500-$600 would have been fair compensation for the difference in 350- 400 ci

Well Tod (if that is even your real name. My capabilities aren't weren't the issue. (although I dont have an engine hoist or solid ground to swap engines on).
The long and short of it is, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO...... AND WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR IN COMPENSATION WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TOLD I WAS GETTING....
You seem to think it was ok to get less than promised... A few hundred dollars doesn't make things ok....... I wouldn't have given two turn key cars for what i ended up with. And what I asked for was what ANY judge would have awarded me in court.
I started out the whole thing asking the guy to pay for HALF of a used 406 in the amount of 1500 dollars. He said he didn't have the cash and when he accused me of just being out for some free money and having traders remorse, I decided to stop being so nice about it.....
But don't worry Tod, you don't have to worry about EVER having to trade with me. ..... You don't have anything I would ever want.
Have a nice day! :wink:

I didn't mean to offend you but it is obvious to me you are a hard guy to deal with.That was the reason for my first comment.
If that truck would have had the same heads,cam,carb etc etc that were on the 350 on a 406 ci short block it would NOT make that truck worth $1500 more than it's worth with the 350ci short block. YOU drove the truck and YOU knew how much seat of the pants power it had and were happy up until someone else TOLD you it was a 350.
I respect Scorp a great deal but I wouldn't be too sure about a Judge awarding you what you asked for....maybe maybe not.
I make no argument that you didn't deserve what was advertised..only that you were being very unreasonable with what you wanted. If he would have paid you half of a used mild 406 you wouldn't have bought one.Most people do not go out and buy a used "mild 406" they build one because when they buy one it ends up just like this deal"It wasn't what he promised it was!!" ...oh that's right...I forgot.You can't build your own engine. My mistake. :lol:
Have a good one.

ops: ops: BEING A SMARTELLECK TO PEOPLE THAT ARE HONESTLY TRYING TO HELP YOU AND THE SELLER SETTLE THIS :roll: SUCKS
I THINK THE SAME--IF YOU CAN NOT DO THE WORK YOURSELF --THEN--PAY SOMEONE TO CHECK OUT YOUR DEALS FOR YOU[BEFORE] YOU MAKE THEM :roll: :roll:
not being mean to you just truthful--alot of guys do not know the difference in engines/ do not know how to read the numbers on the engines/ and know NOTHING about putting them together :shock:
that is why they have it done by a trusted builder :idea: :idea:
also my real name is not LIVELY[incase you wanted to know]
ps--i would change the engines for less then $1000-WOW I NEED TO RAISE MY PRICES!!

talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Seems to me YOU advertised an engine/car based on what the guy before you said..and didn't bother to varify that before passing it off as something it was not....
That is called MISREPRESENTATION!!!!!!!!
Please don't answer saying how you emailed the guy buying your car and told him it wasn't as advertised...and then asking him how to take care of it. That isn't the point...the point is you did exactly what the seller of the truck did...You misrepresented the car when you advertised it.You took the guys word for it when you bought it.
Just like I said....he is exactly the type of person I wouldn't want to deal with.
ALL OF YOU need to look at that thread I linked. The guy was very rude,foul mouthed and insulting. Anyone that deals with him is asking for trouble.
If your car had sold before you found out about it not being as advertised,would YOU have sent him another 306 engine with forged pistons and allowed him to keep the engine that you sold him so he could pay someone to swap it? After all..by your logic it's only fair.

The car was at Pinks All Out, but only because my boyfriend won a lottery drawing not because the car qualified. The car has a 302 stock bottom end and it does run a consistant 11.30's to 11.40's. This add states several things on this car that are not true. The new owner of this car aquired it through a trade where he also said things about the other car that were just not true and he has only had this car for about a month and we gave him records of everything that was done to this car. I also still have copies of the records as proof of what this car is all about. So beware.
